WORLDS

The most comprehensive collection of Carl Andre poems. The poems, which were often typed on 8 x 11 paper, are reproduced in quasi-facsimile to convey Andre’s sculptural intentions. His concrete poetry typically consists of words arranged according to a logic, a technique consistent with his sculptural practice. 
Edited by Lynn Kost. Essays by art historians Gavin Delahunty and Valérie Mavridorakis, and curator Lynn Kost.

Apartamento Publishing S.L., 2024. Hardcover, 80pp., 9.5 x 11.2 inchesNew‘Most arrangements are little noticed, yet some stop you in your tracks’. Originally published in 2003, Leonard Koren’s highly sought-after Arranging Things utilises the language of rhetoric to portray visual arrangement as a ‘communicational act: its own language-like form of aesthetic expression’.Koren’s insightful meditation is further distilled into eight rhetorical principles presented alognside 23 idiosyncratic paintings by artist Nathalie Du Pasquier which illustrate the volume. Arranging Things is not merely a popular book on design; it is a landmark text, a practical manifesto of aesthetic beauty, one for brightening and broadening the way we understand and arrange our worlds.

The rebel hero of Abstract Expressionism, Jackson Pollock (1912–1956) careened through his life like a firework across the American art landscape. Channeling ideas from sources as diverse as Picasso and Mexican surrealism, he rejected convention to develop his own way of seeing, interpreting, and expressing. Pollock’s most famous works are his drip paintings, where he dripped and poured household enamel paint over the canvas with a variety of instruments, from sticks to syringes, hardened brushes to broken bits of glass. The splattered results pulsate with energy, replacing the refinement of easel and brush with something altogether more immediate, vivid, and physical. To evade the viewer’s search for figurative elements in his paintings, Pollock abandoned titles and identified each work with a neutral number only. Notoriously reclusive and volatile, struggling with alcoholism, married to fellow Abstract Expressionist Lee Krasner, and killed in a car crash aged just 44, Pollock is as much a compelling celebrity icon as an artistic pioneer. This essential artist introduction explores both his work and his fame to shed light on masterpieces of the modernist story, and the making of a cultural icon.
